Day to night . . . night to day
Praying for His guidance
Looking to God above
Trusting His every breath
Darkness absorbs His love
Lighting path of wisdom
Teaching His righteous way
Finding strength in God’s Word
Thankful, kneeling to pray
Forgiving transgressions
Walking toward His grace
Keeping God’s covenant
Humbleness fills heart’s place
Unshackling sinner’s chains
Living under God’s peace
Replacing mind’s worry
His love shall never cease
Believing in God’s Son
Accepting Him as Lord
Tasting redemption’s joy
Deliverance restored
Night to day . . . day to night
From Psalm 25:20-21: “O guard my life and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You.”

God blesses us with opportunities to learn
Viewing our sinful ways, brings Him concern
Our Lord assembles His flock to learn His law
Witnessing our errant behavior with many flaws
We are encouraged to learn about God’s Word
Humbling ourselves, embracing faith now stirred
God creates each of us with simple, blessed minds
Acquiring wisdom from His Word, we gladly find
Wayward hearts and lost souls run to seek God
Taking time to learn His righteousness, all nod
Pursuing life’s errant ways, lost will be one’s fate
Our heavenly Father gathers many on this date
Our Lord delivers honest and equal justice for all
Learning to contribute good for others, is our call
God possesses sovereignty over all things
Conveying His message, truth will ring
We learn about Christ, His righteous ways
Staying with us to the end of our long day
Christ brings forward promises to be kind
Praying each day for mercy from His mind
Christ teaches at the temple, seeing God’s way
Bringing forward His Father’s Words, to say
Christ learns obedience, His Father knows
Taking our sins to a bloody Cross, He goes
Step forward and accept our Lord and Savior
Learning a new way, praise God’s selfless favor
God’s Word encourages us to listen and learn
Calling out to sinners, all of us stop and turn

Trust entirely in God, and when He brings you to the venture, see that you take it.
From Isaiah 12:2: “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my might; He has become my salvation.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
